33 life tips/Secret Museum of Mankind/Small egg cooker

2025-02-09 18:01:51

33 life tips, Japanese style

A friend shared this guide of bite-sized tips that blend Japanese cultural wisdom and practical life hacks. Examples:

  • Always follow the rules: Japan loves rules. Suffocating? Yes, but it makes the machine run smoothly. “People love to follow rules here,” Tokyo-based producer Kaori Oyama says. “It can be tiring, but at the same time it means that generally you know what to expect.”

  • Enjoy the silence: Tokyo might be home to nearly 14 million people, but apart from the jingles you’ll hear at the train stations and in the convenience stores, it can be surprisingly quiet. “Very few people speak on the trains,” says Mr Paul McInnes, senior editor of Tokyo Weekender magazine, who has lived in the city since 2000. “It’s a wonderful way to have some quiet space and think about your day.”

Photos of a bygone world

The strangest book I own is the Secret Museum of Mankind. It is a thick book of a thousand grainy black and white photos of tribal people taken over a hundred years ago. The fuzzy photos show costumes and dress, strange tattoos and scarifications, topless women, bizarre religious rituals, cruel punishments, and esoteric practices of cults. The book has no author, no credits, no copyrights, no page numbers, and has the appearance of being reproduced many times without permission. There’s no text in the book except for short unreliable captions that are dated and full of prejudices of that time. I keep coming back to the photos which capture worlds long gone. Despite its titillating gaze, you can see the texture of everyday life for most people with unvarnished realism in a world before electricity, coal, and manufacturing—all revealed with a directness I have not seen published elsewhere. The book is most useful to anyone interested in clothes and fashion as every bit of clothing here was handmade and custom. While used copies are not hard to find, a good digital version has been scanned by Ian Macky, with added index and image grid, and is free here. — KK

Small egg boiler

The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker ($19) is incredibly easy to use and allows me to make anywhere from 1 to 6 hard-boiled eggs at a time. I often crave hard-boiled eggs in the moment, when I don’t have the time to boil them on the stove and then let them sit, so I appreciate how fast and convenient it is. Plus, it's lightweight and compact, making it easy to store in my cupboard alongside other kitchen tools without taking up too much space. — CD

Useful kitchen tips

This short wordless video features a dozen or so kitchen tips, all new to me. Most of them are practical. I've already tried the lettuce-chopping technique and I'm not going back to the way I used to do it. — MF

Oversized winter scarf/Shogun/I Don't Have Spotify

2025-02-02 18:01:10

Oversized winter scarf

I sent this UGG oversize sherpa scarf to a friend in the Rocky Mountains, and their enthusiastic response convinced me it was the perfect gift. The dimensions (77" L x 11" W - think wearable blanket) proved ideal for high-altitude living, where temperatures swing dramatically throughout the day. What makes it special besides the size is the material—it's exceptionally plush and warm without being heavy or bulky. — MF

Japan historical series

The series Shogun streaming on Hulu/Disney+ deserves the many awards it won for great entertainment. It’s one version of a Japanese “game of thrones” What really captivated me was the impeccable historical realism and sense of immersion into ancient Edo period Japan. For instance, the show climaxes with poetry competitions. It is loosely based on historical people and events. The cast is Japanese speaking Japanese with English subtitles. The first season has 10 episodes with two more seasons in development. Well done! — KK

Convert music streaming song links

I Don't Have Spotify is a simple tool that quickly converts song links from Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer, or SoundCloud to another preferred streaming service. This is particularly useful for sharing music with friends who have strong preferences against certain platforms. — CD

Old time radio stories

One of the best American storytellers of all time was the radio host Jean Shepherd who appeared on a New York City AM station (WOR) for 3 decades, during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Every weekday night he did a humorist monologue of stories from his boyhood in a steel-mill town, rants about city life, and tall tales about everyday life – and nothing was pre-scripted! A tireless raconteur, Shep wrote the classic movie Christmas Story, about a kid getting a BB gun for Christmas. Many of his shows were taped over the static airways by listeners, and about 500 are now available online at The Jean Shepherd Show archive. Jerry Seinfeld claims he learned how to do his comedy about little things listening to Jean Shepherd stories. — KK

Follow a water drop’s path

River Runner is a website that lets you track a virtual raindrop's journey from any point on Earth to its final destination in the ocean. The 3D visualization is fluid, showing your water droplet flowing through rivers and streams, based on real geographic data. I spent too much time dropping rain on mountaintops and watching it wind through valleys all the way to the ocean. It's especially spectacular when starting from places like Yellowstone National Park, where you can watch the dramatic elevation changes unfold. It’s a perfect companion to John McPhee’s Basin and Range. — MF

50 ideas for building a better life

This collection of advice is compiled as the most powerful life hacks, and while I’ve heard a lot of it before, reading it all together is particularly impactful. It serves as a great reminder of the building blocks that make a life well lived. Here are my top five favorites from the longer list:

  • If you’re about to take an emotion-induced action, wait 24 hours. Many relationships have been broken by actions taken in the heat of the moment. Don't fall into the trap.

  • Never avoid hard conversations. When you avoid a hard conversation, you're taking on a debt that has to be repaid with interest at a date in the future…

  • Make a rule to never think twice about investments in yourself. Books, quality food, fitness, and personal development all fit into this bucket. These investments pay dividends for a long time. Think about material purchases instead—wait 24 hours to complete an order to see if you still want it.

  • When someone is going through hell, just saying “I’m with you” is the most powerful thing you can do. Advice, perspectives, or offers to help are minimally impactful. The notion that someone is with you is 10x more powerful. Be the “darkest hour friend” to those you love.

  • John D. Rockefeller would take regular breaks from his notoriously demanding schedule to mill about in his garden—it was his personal escape. Find your "garden" and go there often. Practice stillness, flex the solitude muscle. Be bored for at least 15 minutes per day. It’s an unlock for creativity and mindfulness.

Calling out room dynamics/Teeny phone tripod/Purse hook

2025-01-26 18:01:39

The art of naming what’s in the room

This article on "The Art of Calling Out Room Dynamics" is geared toward high-stakes professional environments, but I find it incredibly useful advice for defusing tension and realigning unproductive group meetings of any kind. The article outlines practical tips, as well as the psychology behind naming what is in the room. Pattern interruption helps to break negative loops, and focusing on the collective experience helps to create psychological safety and make space for honest dialogue. This is a conversational superpower that anyone can develop. — CD

Teeny phone tripod

It’s not easy to prop a phone up at the right angle. For video calls using the phone, or for photography I sometimes want a steady position sans arms. I use this itsy-bitsy holder from Peak Design that folds up to the size of a credit card, but thicker. Parts of the card fold out to form a tripod and the remaining is a magnetic plate which holds the phone (check to be sure your phone back does magnets). I can then stand my phone on a desk for a video call or place it outside like a small camera tripod for video or timelapse. The design is ingenious. It slips into my daypack when travelling. — KK

Purse hook for tables

After one too many purses sliding off restaurant chairs onto grimy floors or taking up table space, my wife started carrying this clever folding hook in her purse. It magnetically collapses to the size of a silver dollar but unfolds to securely hang bags from any table edge. — MF

Public domain image search tool

I was tired of visiting multiple museum collections one-by-one for usable images, so I built this simple web tool that creates direct search links to 11 major institutional collections on a single page. Enter a search term like "sailing ships" and get one-click access to results from places like the Smithsonian, Met Museum, Library of Congress and more. Free. — MF

Source for sacred statues

Sacred Source is a treasure trove of sacred images, traditional deities, and spiritual statues. It is my go-to source for buying hand-crafted devotional artifacts for my altar. They have such a diverse range of statues, honoring both ancient cultures and modern spirituality. As a small company dedicated to supporting artisan families, every purchase feels like a meaningful choice. — CD

Known unknowns

This is super cool: Wikenigma, an encyclopedia of known unknowns. What we know we don't know. A startlingly long list of unanswered questions, uncertainties, and blank areas in our collective knowledge. Frontiers. Good places to work. — KK

Lego portraits/Brain rot tips/Glicol

2025-01-19 18:00:57

Lego portraits

A cool way to make some unusual art is to render an image in Lego. I used a kit from BrickMe that turned a photo of my wife into 5,625 pixels, and then they supplied me with Lego tiles in 50 different colors. Using the map they also supply, I “painted” the image by applying the tiles in the manner of paint-by-numbers. I glued the final assembly onto plywood to hang in my studio. The procedure is well-designed, fun, with plenty of extra tiles. Mine was the small size at 24 x 24 inches (57 x 57 cm) for $126; they can go much bigger. – KK

Best tips to avoid brain rot

One of my New Year's resolutions is to create more distance between myself and my phone. This list offers some effective tricks to make your phone less interesting, as well as tips to avoid "brain rot." According to the Oxford Dictionary, brain rot refers to the "supposed deterioration of a person's mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging." For me, simply disabling badge and sound notifications was enough to make my phone less engaging. I also encouraged my closest friends and family to call me more often and text less. — CD

Browser-based music tool

Glicol is a free music programming environment that runs in your web browser — no installation needed. As someone who dabbles in music coding, I like how it lets you connect audio nodes (like oscillators and filters) using simple >> arrows, similar to patching modular synths. It's instantly usable for beginners. Watch a demo video. — MF

Adjustable all-metal tablet stand

My father liked this aluminum tablet stand ($20) that I gave him for his birthday so much, he bought one for my mother. Unlike fixed-angle stands, this one lets you easily dial in the perfect viewing angle. Rubber-padded grips prevent slipping and scratches. Works with everything from phones to large tablets (4-17 inches) and folds nearly flat for travel. — MF

Really Comfortable Floor Mattress

My home office doubles as a guest room, so I needed to find a comfortable floor mattress that could be easily packed away when not in use. I did a lot of research and went with the highly reviewed Milliard Tri-Folding Memory Foam Mattress (6-inch, Twin XL). Every overnight guest we’ve had says it’s really comfortable. I’ve also slept on it and liked it so much that I bought the smaller Twin size (6-inch) just to have an extra one on hand for camping trips or overnight retreats. — CD

Protecting your house from wildfire

There is a growing understanding of why some houses burn in a wildfire and why some escape. There are many things you can do to prevent your house from burning. First, the chief factor is how close your home is to another burning house. It is houses that set fire to houses, more than trees or vegetation. Prevention is a community thing. Second, a stream of embers ignites most houses, rather than flames. Those embers pile up in gutter debris, dry leaves near the foundation, firewood stack against a wall, or embers flying into vents, and that kindling ignites the house. These insights are based on the latest research into wild fire. A great starting point for learning what you can do – based on evidence – is the California Chaparral Institute. — KK

NATO Alphabet Converter/Huge If True/Framework for letting "it" go

2025-01-12 18:01:59

Easy NATO phonetic alphabet converter

After one too many frustrating calls trying to spell out airline confirmation codes ("No, B as in Boy, not D!"), I built this simple web tool. Type in any text and it instantly converts it to NATO phonetic alphabet - so "B2K" becomes "Bravo Two Kilo." Try it for clearly communicating flight bookings, WiFi passwords, or any string of letters and numbers over the phone. — MF

Illuminating science YouTube

A YouTuber I follow with eager anticipation is Cleo Abrams, who creates a science explainer about once a month, called Huge If True. For a great example, watch her video explaining what’s involved in human egg freezing and harvesting. (That they are her eggs added fantastic depth to her reporting.) A monthly schedule allows her explainers to have sophisticated levels of production and clarity. Her range of interests are broad and varied, and generally uplifting. I am a happy subscriber. — KK

A framework for letting it go (whatever “it” is)

This is a beautifully simple and concise framework for processing and releasing difficult emotions. The author outlines a 14-step guide that begins with acknowledging your feelings and ends with creating meaningful rituals. Every step is practical and flexible for anyone to adapt it to their own needs and experiences. — CD

Party dice game

My daughter's college friends are obsessed with this simple dice game called LCR Wild. Each turn, you roll up to three dice marked L, C, R or Wild - passing chips left, right, to a center pot, or using Wild to steal from anyone. As she explains: "Chips that go to the center are eliminated from play, so the game gets more intense as the supply dwindles. You can theoretically win the center pot with three wild rolls, but I've never seen it happen!" The last player with chips wins. Perfect balance of luck and light strategy that works for 3 or 30 people. — MF

Replace tape and tacks

I always keep Elmer’s Resuable Tac ’N Stik in my craft supplies. It comes in handy when I want to hang up paper prints on my wall without having to use a nail, and I avoid the risk of peeling off wall paint with double-sided mounting tape. — CD

Alt Japan guides

The dollar-to-yen exchange rate continues to make now a fabulous time to visit Japan. The main trick is to get out of Tokyo, but Tokyo is a good place to start for first time visitors. My favorite guide to Tokyo is one aimed at kids, but also one that anyone young at heart will benefit from: Tokyo, City Trails by Lonely Planet Kids. It points you to all the actual fun things to do, not just endless food and temples. How about a toilet showroom, a chocolate bath, or a sleep capsule? In the same vein, for your guidance to cosplay, manga, anime, otaku activities, I recommend Tokyo Geek’s Guide. It’s a great way to experience the city and modern Japanese culture. — KK

Retro Recomendo: Destinations

2025-01-05 18:01:06

Our subscriber base has grown so much since we first started eight years ago, that most of you have missed all our earliest recommendations. The best of these are still valid and useful, so we’re trying out something new — Retro Recomendo. Once every 6 weeks, we’ll send out a throwback issue of evergreen recommendations focused on one theme from the past 8 years.


Intimate boat tours

A tour in the Galapagos was one of our best vacations ever. There are no hotels so you live on a boat, which travels during the night so you wake up in the cove of a different island each morning. Each island is a different biome (inspiring the idea of evolution for Darwin). You spend the day actively hiking around the islands encountering a myriad of perfectly tame animals and birds. While there are large cruise boats, the key is to sail on a small boat to minimize transit times ashore. Go to Happy Gringo to find diverse small boat tours. They are utterly reliable and 1/3 the cost of others. — KK

Explore cities by bike

I used the Red Bike service when I was in Cincinnati recently. A 24-hour pass costs a measly $8. You just grab a bike at any of the dozens of stations (an app shows you how many bikes are available on a map) and start pedaling. The bikes have baskets and locks. It’s a lot more fun than Uber! — MF

Find street food tours

Before I travel to new city X, I search for “street food tour for city X.” Almost every interesting city these days has someone offering this inside look. I find it a quick, fun, inexpensive, exhilarating way to get to know a place. — KK

World’s cheapest destinations

So much to see, so little money. Why not maximize your travel by getting the most per dollar? The World’s Cheapest Destinations will guide you to the best least expensive countries in the world, where a small budget will purchase you ten times the joy of a more expensive region. Part of my secret to travel is to visit these countries listed, which are usually the most interesting, too. Now in its 5th updated edition, this succinct guide is one of the best investments in life you can make. — KK

Room of Silence

One of the most profound experiences I've had while traveling was visiting the Raum der Stille, a non-denominational room of silence near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. I sat in a chair within a clean, nondescript room, facing 2 or 3 other people in similar chairs. The room wasn't soundproof, but we were all silent and in our own reflective states. I didn't want to leave. I felt connected to these strangers and to myself, which is something I never felt in any church. I was so overwhelmed and grateful for that short experience, and was excited to visit more quiet rooms. I encourage anybody visiting Berlin soon to seek it out. — CD

Coolest nature museum

The world’s coolest nature museum: The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, England. It’s a day trip from London. Take the 1-hour train to Oxford, then walk 15 minutes from the station to the museum, co-housed with the Oxford University Nature Museum. Enter into a lost world of curiosity. You are surrounded by three floors of artifacts collected over centuries by eccentric British explorers. Displays include shrunken heads, voodoo dolls, tomb relics, weird insects, ancient folk tools, dinosaur skeletons, taxidermy galore, uncountable biological, and mineralogical specimens, all stacked in glassy cabinets with typed cards and labels. It’s supremely old-school and hugely satisfying. — KK
